Ry Lt. Col. George B. I,ake. 
We here meet you for the first 
time, and, like a good soldiers, sa- 
lute you. Our size is small and 
our dress may not be all that one 
could desire; bilt, did you ever no- 
tice an acorn? It isn't very big 
nor very prelly< but look what 
comes of it in time! We hope that 
Ihis little paper will please you 
and that you will give it your ear- 
nest and whole-hearted support. 
It is )(Mir paper, and wo will hope 
you will do all you can to make 
it the kind of paper you will be 
proud of. We want everyone to 
help by turning in news" items, 
stories, verse, pictures, jokes or 
anything you think ought to be in 
a paper like this. We can not use 
everything we get, but will do our 
best. 1)0 not be discouraged if the 
stuff you send us is not used, but 
keep trying. Read this little paper 
and then send it home to the folks. 
It will tell them a lot about how 
you are doing. I>et's all get to- 
gether now, and BOOST! 



The medics of the Hospital at Camp 
Zachary Taylor have sent a challenge 
to our stickmen. which has been ac- 
cepted. Kleven paslimers from tho 
Bine Grass State will journey hero 
and our batsmen threaten to supplant 
their sunny smiles with a well chas- 
tened and meek appearance. 

We are uninformed as to Taylor's 
prowess as yet, but the coming game 
will give lis a good line on the rela- 
tive speed of one of the other hospital 
teams with whom we Will mingle qh 
the diamond this summer. 

Owing to the former lack of base- 
ball paraphernalia, the hospital team 
has been delayed somewhat in early 
practice, but a good showing has been 
made by the men who have come out, 
and the prospects are bright for a 
good season. Uniforms are now on 
the way and a |)leiitiful supply of 
gloves, bats, balls, etc., is on hand. 
The diamond has been cleaned and 
rolled and is in fast condition. 

There is room on the hospital team 
for speedy men and the game with 
Taylor should give us a line on the 
probable regulars. With the incen- 
tive of a trip to Camp Taylor and 
Camp Sherman, with perhaps other 
away-from-home dates, every man

DISCIPLINE. 



There is one thing, and one thing 
only, that makes a soldier different 
from a civilian and that thing is dis- 
cipline — instant andi willing obedience 
to all orders, rules and regulations 
given by one's military superiors. All 
s#ldiers are subject to discipline. The 
Captain, the Colonel, even the Com- 
manding General, must give "instant 
and willing obedience" to the orders 
he receives from higher authority 
and must abide by the regulations 
and articles of war. No discipline is 
pleasant, but it is essentially neces- 
sary, not alone in the army, but in 
every walk in life. An organization 
is judged by the discipline of the men 
in it. If you are sloppy in your dress, 
careless afcout saluting, unghaved or 
dirty, every real soldier will say, "He 
must belong to a bum outfit." Every 
civilian who sees a soldier fail to sa- 
lute an officer will not think the sol- 
dier "cute," but will say to hitwself, 
"He is a poor specimen of a soldier 
if he can't even obey the simplest or- 
ders." It is an honor to us all to be 
permitted to render the courtesies 
common between soldiers. As long 
as we wear the uniform of our coMn- 
trys army, let us uphold its glorious 
traditions by maintaining the strict- 
est discipline at all times. 




The "Goldbricking Quintet," Misses 
Lane, Kolburne, Johnson. Sellard and 
Goldman, nurses and diphtheria sus- 
pects, now in isolation, with idle 
hours and busy brains, have com- 
posed the following poem: 
"IF" 
(With Apologies to Kipling.) 
If you can keep yourself inside the 
window when all about 
Are hanging out and blaming it on 
you; 
If you're .positive that you're negative 
when all men doubt you. 
And make allowance for their doubt- 
ing, too; 

If you o^n wait and not be tired by 
waiting. 
Or gargling, don't gag too awful 
mu»h. 
Or being painted don't give way to 
fainting — 
And yet don't look too hopeful or 
smile as such; 

If you can dream and not give way to 
snoring, 
Police your room and yet take all the 
blame; 
If you can meet with negative and 
positive boring, 
And treat those two imposters just 
the same; 

If you can bear to h^ar the verdict 
spoken. 
Twisted by Corke, who on "dip 
cooties" dotes; 
Or see tjie negatives you've piled up 
broken. 
And strive to get some^ more wi(th 
worn out throats; 

If you can make one heap of your two 
negative winnings. 
And risk it all with one turn of the 
swabbing stick. 
And lose — and begin again at your be- 
ginnings. 
And take it like a soldier and a 
brick; 

If you can force yoi^ heart and nerve 
and siiiew. 
When Clark with iodine must wal- 
low. 
And not dare gulp when there is noth- 
ing in you. 
Except the will that urges you to 
swallow; 

If you can kill a guinea and keep your 
virtue. 
Or take a walk nor spread the dip.-jy 
germs; 
If you can see the whole post going 
by you. 
And not cuss or cry or cringe or 
even squirm; 

If you can fill the unforgiving media 

v/ith sixty dead bacilli, pure as pearl. 

Yours is the Fort and everything that's 

in it, — 

And what is more you will be out, 

my girl.

OUR ENERGETIC FIREMAN 
(With Apologies to the Author) 
Wish I were a little rock, 

A-sitting on a hill, 
A-rtoing nothing all day long. 

But just a-sittin's still. 
I wouldn't walk, I wouldn't talk, 
wouldn't even wash; 
I'd just sit still a thousand years. 

And rest myself, b'gosh.

Every position on the staff of this 
paper from editor-in-chief to society 
editor is open to the best man or 
woman who can be found to fill it. 
And a man with business ability is 
wanted for circulation manager. 

It is the intention of the promoters 
of the paper that it shall be edited, 
published and managed by enlisted 
men, with the assistance of the nurses, 
occupational therapy workers, recon- 
struction aides, physiotherapy work- 
ers and all other interests working 
for the good of the patients in U. S. 
A. General Hospital No. 2.5. Every- 
one in Ft. Benjamin Harrison should 
be interested in its success, for rea- 
sons that are too numerous to men- 
tion. 

Now, step up, all you editors, re- 
porters and scribes. It's great fun. 

Come today. Next week the posi- 
tions may be filled.

NURSES TAKE UP DRILL 



The awkward squad steps up and 
the agony begins. "Now when I say 
fours right,' go to the right! One's 
left foot is left and it must be the right 
one at the right time. Stand on right 
foot, advance left and to the rear, 
march! No! no! You can't turn to 
the left; it isn't being done!" Capt. 
Perry deserves a rest, but he can't be 
spared. 

IVIisses Hammer, White and Olsen, 
overseas nurses, reported here for 
duty this week. We now have eight 
nurses on duty at this hospital from 
the A. E. F. 

A brilliant success was the dinner 
and reception at the Red Cross House 
May 5, in honor of Miss Parks, Chief 
Nurse, who left for a vacation in the 
East. 

The drill inspection by Capt. Perry 
doesn't include the buttons on your 
dress, but that is about all that does 
escape. No time to gather "goat feath- 
ers" at drill.
